Replace Air Filters

1. Remove mesh trim at the rear of the engine bay by un-screwing four screws on the top of the mesh cover and two screws about half way down in the mesh;

2. Remove the carbon trim running along the side of the engine bay by un-screwing the phillips head screws along the top of the panels, then carefully pull the panels up and out;

*NOTE*

If your car has the circular piece of carbon trim surrounding the engine cover shocks (pictured below), it must be removed. Use the smallest flat head screw driver you have to pull the metal retaining clip from the outside of the ball. Then simply pull the shock arm off its mount. Remove the carbon trim, re-insert the shock arm onto the ball and continue to work on the car. There is no need to replace the retaining clip while you work on the car.

*NOTE*

Sometimes to remove the panel, the intake hoses must be removed from the throttle bodies.

3. Remove hose clamps from throttle bodies;

*NOTE*

The hose clamps can be removed from the air boxes, but this step is un-necessary.

*NOTE*

The factory hose clamps require a special tool to remove and install. Often times the factory clamps to be weak and not properly hold the hoses on. I remove the factory hose clamps by prying off with a flat head screw driver and replacing them with either a standard hose clamp or t-bolt clamp.

4. Remove three 4mm Allen-Hex bolts holding the air boxes together;

5. Left side of car: remove the hose clamp and hose for the breather with a flat head screw driver.

- Right side of car: there is a circular electrical box, it may be removed to access the front air box mounting bolt. Loosen the bolt holding it to the car and slide the circular electrical box off the bolt (no need to completely remove the bolt);

Converting a Diablo, Murcielago, LP640, LP670 or Reventon to two wheel drive just got a little bit lighter. This week Reid Performance released titanium front axle deletes, further shedding rotational and unsprung mass from the front hubs while at the same time adding strength.

All Diablo and Murcielago 2WD kits now utilize these titanium front axle deletes.
